Extraordinary
capabilities

Whether in TTE or TEE, capture the entire heart in a
single beat. Image a valve, or the entire ventricle with
excellent image quality. And break down the barriers
to routine day-to-day 4D imaging, from acquisition,
through navigation and quantification, to archiving.

Vivid E9 is GE Healthcare’s first cardiovascular
ultrasound system built specifically for 4D
imaging—from ergonomics to image acquisition
to data management. Available in both 2D and

4D configurations.

Featuring our Accelerated Volume Architecture 4D platform
for increased processing power compared to GE Healthcare’s
previous 4D scanner.

Advanced quantification tools help streamline workflow for

enhanced productivity. These tools include 4D Stress and 4D

Auto LV Quantification. One-touch ease of use and intuitive

workflow puts 4D at your fingertips.

As 4D becomes routine in your clinical practice, you still need

excellent 2D image quality.

Vivid E9 handles 2D imaging with equal power, precision, and
agility, made possible with our 4V-D transducer, the second­generation 4D transducer, and the M5S/M5Sc transducers
single-crystal matrix array and XDclear transducer technology.

Open the door to 4D and its many new possibilities.

for every day

Accelerated Volume Architecture

GE’s exclusive and patented beam-forming technology, the

Accelerated Volume Architecture, provides several times the

power of traditional GE ultrasound systems with increased
volume size for full volume single beat, as well as for high­volume rate multi-beat 4D acquisition. Using both coherent
and harmonic image processing, the system provides
computational power, ease of imaging, workflow flexibility
and product upgradeability.

Raw data format

The GE Vivid product line has always acquired and stored

its data in a specific raw data format, which enables
onboard, as well as after-the-fact post-processing capabilities.

This flexible and innovative format and storage of pre-scan

converted data has enabled development of utilities with
high clinical value.

This has resulted in an increase in the ability to perform

additional advanced algorithms for all of the steps
in the data processing chain, culminating in the release
of the Vivid E9 with XDclear.

XDclear. High speed and image quality to help
make your work life easier.

An advanced, intuitive ultrasound leadership system, Vivid E9

with XDclear provides extraordinary image quality for the
following imaging modes: 2D, color flow, Doppler, and 4D.
It’s well-suited for serving your cardiovascular and shared
services needs.

Five new imaging transducers—two designed with GE
Healthcare’s XDclear transducer technology—complement
an already robust portfolio of adult, pediatric, vascular, and
abdominal transducers.

Vivid E9 with XDclear helps strengthen 4D display and
visualization, as well as 2D and 4D quantification. It offers
excellent workflow and portability—designed into a powerful,
versatile platform built for current and future innovations.

Advanced transducer technology

Thanks to recent advances in transducer technology,

XDclear transducers are GE Healthcare‘s highest-performing
transducers. XDclear transducers are designed to deliver
more powerful and efficient sound waves, with higher
bandwidth and efficiency than traditional GE transducers.

XDclear technology is built on a combination of three
innovations in acoustic engineering:

•

Single Crystal provides a method to “grow” advanced
piezoelectric material with the polarity of the molecules
aligned to deliver a high-quality acoustic signal with
enhanced bandwidth and efficiency.

At your service

From your adult and pediatric echo labs, to your interventional
suite and OR, Vivid E9 with XDclear can help deliver improved
image quality in 2D, 4D, color, and Doppler, for enhanced
diagnostic confidence and to help shorten exam times.

Adult echo

By providing superb image quality even on difficult-to-scan
patients, Vivid E9 with XDclear helps increase diagnostic
confidence and productivity in adult echocardiography.

Interventional/OR

With the introduction of the visualization tools Polar
Vision and Depth Illumination, Vivid E9 with XDclear offers
extraordinary, clear 3D depth perception of cardiac structures
during image-guided device placements, as well as during
other transthoracic or transesophageal procedures.

Pediatrics

For your pediatric patient population, the echo imaging
capability of the Vivid E9 with XDclear can provide lifetime
follow-up – from the fetal heart, through pediatrics, to adult
congenital heart issues – for excellent patient care.

Shared services

With a comprehensive portfolio of transducers that deliver
extraordinary image quality on a broad spectrum of body
types, Vivid E9 with XDclear is well-suited for a variety of
shared services uses, including cardiac, peripheral vascular,
abdominal, and OB/GYN.

•

Acoustic Amplifier design acoustically insulates the core
transducer structure from the mechanical housing to
capture and redirect unused energy that passes through
the crystal. This enhances power efficiency bandwidth and
helps reduce noise and heat dissipation.

•

Cool Stack helps optimize energy use by relieving inherent
heat generation that can otherwise reduce sensitivity
and penetration.

The result: Impressive penetration and/or high sensitivity—

while still maintaining high spatial resolution.
